Forestbrooks Hills subdivision in Schomberg

Nov 27, 2020 | Debbie in the Community | 0 comments

In November 30 Council there is a report recommending approval of a draft plan subdivision and the zoning bylaw for Forest Hills in Schomberg.  This is phase 2 of what has already been built on Roselean Drive.  As reviewed there has been significant public consultation prior to this stage.  As earlier today (i.e. just before reading this report) I attended a public information meeting about stormwater management I have paid particular attention to the discussion points in the report about LID (low impact development) measures being used in this project.  I am also particularly interested in the protection of  natural heritage of the site as it is of signficance:  woodlands, Schomberg River and wetlands.  Am glad to see that our Active Transportation Strategy is influencing the design.  I will be asking some question about the LID measures and am also interested to know how the proponent has responded to our interest in using the green building standards.  From my understanding of the latter, they are not in force yet but the proponent will have been asked to take into account and to assess their plans against the standards.
